Proposes to address opportunities for restoring ecosystems identified during the Odell Watershed Analysis (1999), Big Marsh Watershed Analysis (1997), and to implement the management strategy defined for the Davis Late Successional Reserve (1995), by reducing stand density to a level that substantially changes the risk of mortality caused by overcrowding and competition for resources. Includes thinning of smaller species to promote large pine and Douglas-fir habitats for bald eagles and northern spotted owls, culturing of large trees, prescribed fire and/or mowing, salvaging excess dead and dying trees, and thinning of understory to favor overstory replacement trees.

Analyzes road conditions on the 80,375 acres of the watershed, in an area of unevenly distributed roads. Six-part process consists of: setting up the analysis, describing the situation, identifying the issues, assessing benefits, problems and risks, describing opportunities, and setting priorities, and reporting.

Walker Mountain is a designated electronic site located on the Crescent Ranger District on the
Deschutes National Forest. The Deschutes National Forest proposes to issue a special use permit to
Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) authorizing the construction of a co-locatable
communications tower and building to be located on the Walker Mountain Communication Site. In
addition, BPA will remove two aged Forest Service towers and one building on the south end of the
electronic site where historically significant buildings are located. Midstate Electric would remove the
associated overhead powerline to those structures. All areas where removal takes place would be
rehabilitated to a condition as close to the surrounding character of the site, as reasonable. The proposed action would require an amendment to the Deschutes National Forest Land and
Resource Management Plan and the Walker Mountain Communications Site 1995 Revised
Management and Development Plan.
